David Madrid's 'Why Not?!': A Joyful Call to Follow Jesus

David Madrid's song "Why Not?!" is an interesting song, in the sense that it turns the tables around.

Marcus & Jalyn McGill's 'Deserted' – Have Faith and Patience, We're Never Deserted

"Deserted" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill is a beautiful single from their upcoming project "between barren & beautiful." This song uses poetic imagery of walking through a desert and compares this to our struggles as we wait on God's promises. Our struggles take us through feelings of hope and doubt, while all God asks from us is that we trust in His timing. The first half of "Deserted" captures our side of a journey—our struggle as we wait for God to fulfill His promises. You see the confusion and frustration in the lines like: "But day turns to night, and I sit in the dark," and "I look to the stars, but it is so hard, to believe again." The second half of the song shifts to God's response and how He urges us to see His faithfulness even in difficult times. "Don't miss the beauty of the stars" and "you're not deserted" reminding us that God's presence and love are a constant factor, never ...
